After 2 hours on Mozart’s Mass in C minor, a few of our fellow choristers still found enough voice to celebrate Scotland’s transfixing win over Denmark in last night’s World Cup Qualifiers at Hampden Park. #Scotland #WorldCup2026 😅💪🏼🎶

Always great to welcome new members to the RSNO Chorus. And a baptism of fire it was for them: Mozart’s Mass in C minor and a beautiful choral work by Clara Schumann, Drei gemischte chöre which was new to us all…❤️🎶 cc @srtristan.bsky.social

Aren’t these wonderful experiences, Eluned? Audiences are in raptures, and as you say, many never having been to a symphony orchestra concert before. This from our last concert with Eimear Noone in May 2023 at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. 🙌🏼🎶

Another wonderful rehearsal last night. Jonathan Dove’s Uprising gives glorious and moving voice to the anxiety so many of us feel about climate change and diminishing biodiversity. Profound and moving. 🙌🏼🎶 @rsno.bsky.social
